But NITROvit and NITROamp still have plenty of benefits for anybody who needs a brain boost. Let’s check ’em out.

About NITROvit & NITROamp

Made by NeuroLaboratories, NITROvit & NITROamp are nootropic formulas that can be used alone or combined into a “Stack.” NITROvit is billed as an “Advanced Cognitive Nootropic” designed for “laser-like focus” and “intense productivity.” NITROamp appears to be more of a short-term mental energy booster. Together, the formulas may work by:

So far, so good. NITROvit delivers some of the best nootropics, with brain health nutrients to boot. But NITROvit has formula flaws, too:

Some NITROvit ingredients just aren’t good nootropics.

Caffeine+Taurine: Neither one is a nootropic. Both are commonly found in energy drinks; that’s what we assume NITROvit is going for here.

Alpha Lipoic Acid. Not nootropic, but may have brain health benefits for older people facing age-related cognitive decline.

Some ingredients are low-dosage; some are low-quality.

We appreciate that NITROvit gives us dosages, but it exposes that some are way too low. For example, to get brain benefits, you need at least:

1,500 mg ALCAR… NITROvit only has 200 mg

2,000 mg Oatstraw… NITROvit only has 250 mg

250 mg Citicoline… NITROvit only has 150 mg.

Low dosage is worsened by low-potency forms: Cheap B6 & B12, and no standardized herbs. They say you can double-dose (up to 4 caps daily), which would help with these dosage/potency issues.

Despite flaws, NITROvit is a strong nootropic formula.

Many NITROvit ingredients DO hit ideal dosage ranges for mental performance benefits. They’ve done a fine job choosing nootropic ingredients that not only work, but seem to work well together.

NITROamp: Focus, Memory, Productivity

It’s just Caffeine+L-Theanine: A popular mental performance duo, but caffeine is not a nootropic. NITROamp’s caffeine is also concerning because NITROvit already has caffeine. Take both as directed, and you get 200 mg Caffeine. That’s a lot, especially if you drink coffee. L-Theanine helps: It’s a Best5 Nootropic that helps relaxation & clarity while reducing caffeine jitters.

NITROvit & NITROamp Benefits

It’s funny how many nootropic benefits they claim. Here’s a sampling: Focus, clarity, learning, mental energy, mood, concentration, memory, alertness, motivation, anxiety, and more. The ingredients back up many of these claims; in fact, when you put NITROvit & NITROamp together, they have 7 of the 11 ingredients found in our top-rated nootropic product. for overall cognitive enhancement. We feel their most accurate claim is the simplest one, right on their homepage: “May help control focus and attention issues.”

Who Takes NITROvit & NITROamp?

Go-getters. They emphasize boosting cognition to gain a “competitive edge,” along with creativity and productivity claims for professionals. They offer a “Student Pack” that targets young people, but they also say the formulas help with age-related brain problems. Since NITROvit and NITROamp supply many of the best nootropics, it makes sense that these formulas could be used by anyone, regardless of age… as long as you can handle caffeine.

Any Side Effects?

NeuroLaboratories claims that at their recommended dosage, the formulas have no side effects. BUT, they also say that you can double the dosage… which would deliver 400 mg caffeine, and would almost certainly result in jitters, nervousness and other caffeine-related side effects.

Summary

NITROvit & NITROamp Pros

Great nootropic ingredients. Together they supply 13 ingredients–including ALL 5 of our Best5 Nootropics, 3 more nootropics that work, 3 non-nootropics for brain health, and 2 “duds” (caffeine+taurine).

Formula transparency. Both formulas reveal the exact form and dosage of every ingredient, a sign of honesty and quality.

Credible brand. They have a beautiful, information-rich website and many convincing testimonials. They carefully explain the “why and how” of their ingredients. We appreciate this.

Free stuff! NeuroLaboratories offers a free newsletter and ebook with productivity tips, which you can download even if you don’t buy.

NITROvit & NITROamp Cons

2X Caffeine. Both formulas contain caffeine. Take ’em both and drink coffee, and you might become an overstimulated, nervous wreck.

Some low dosages & weak forms. Even the best nootropics in the universe will fail if they are presented in weak forms at ineffective dosages.

Some BS. They say, “NITROvit only contains the absolute highest quality ingredients that ensure maximum potency and effectiveness…” But this is not true. They use cheap B vitamins and not a single standardized herb. Come on, NITROvit. Don’t BS us.

Bogus guarantee. “If any of our products leave you anything other than completely satisfied, simply return unopened bottles within 60 days for a full refund (less shipping and handling).” So in order to get a refund, you have to return unopened bottles? How are you supposed to try them?

Final Word on NITROvit & NITROamp

NITROvit and NITROamp work. NITROvit falls short on some dosages, but enough hit therapeutic dosage to bring nootropic benefits. Both formulas sharpen alertness based on caffeine alone. Meanwhile, the real nootropics are performing bio-activities to support mental clarity, memory, attention, productivity and more. If NeuroLaboratories used clinical dosages, standardized herbs and premium forms, NITROvit and NITROamp would easily be a 5-StarStack. But as the formulas stand…
